MXA-FMK-20 Modero X Series

Flush Mount Kit

MXA-FMK-20

The MXA-FMK-20 Flush Mount Kit (FG5968-68) allows the Modero X 20.3” Wall

Mount Touch Panels to be installed totally flush with the wall. The MXA-FMK-20 is

compatible with all Modero X 20.3” Wall Mount Touch Panels including:

Installation of the Flush Mount Kit

The MXA-FMK-20 Flush Mount Kit is designed to attach the touch panel to most

standard wall and solid surface materials.

Note: To guarantee a stable installation of the MXA-FMK-20, the thickness of the wall

material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches

(2.22cm). The surface should also be smooth and flat.

After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface, using the MXA-FMK-

20 Flush Mount Kit Template (68-5968-09) as a guide (FIG. 1).

CAUTION: The cutout dimensions shown will allow the unit to pass through without

any dragging or interference. The outer border shows the perimeter of the mounting

flange. If any part of the cutout extends up to or beyond that perimeter, the cut edge

will be visible after installation, or the unit could fall through the opening. A larger

cutout reduces the available surface to support the unit when mounted, so the cut

should be as close to the indicated dimensions as possible. If the cutout is too small,

forcing the unit into place could result in mechanical binding, faulty operation, or

damage to the product. Always check for a proper fit before final installation.

A - These six notches serve as clearance for the drywall expansion clips. If you

are not using the drywall expansion clips, DO NOT cut these notches into the

mounting surface.

B - These four notches are clearance notches for the screw heads on the sides

of the wall frame. These notches must be cut.

WARNING: Cut to the inner perimeter of the template. Do NOT cut to the outer

perimeter.

Note: Before installing the touch panel in the wall, check the flush alignment of the

panel in the frame. Install the panel in the wall frame, and push it in to its recessed

position (see step 10). Lay the trim ring over the unit to check the relative position of

the touch panel with the trim ring face. Note that the unit should be oriented as it will

sit in the wall as gravity can have an effect on the final position of the panel. If they

are not coplanar, use the four set screws to adjust the depth of the installed panel

until it is flush with the trim ring (see FIG. 2).Only small adjustments (if any) of one

turn or less should be required. Adjusting the position too far could result in the catch

not having enough room to engage. After completing the adjustments, test that all

catches engage and release. Remove the panel and proceed with wall installation.

Installing the Wall Frame

1. Remove the appropriate knockouts from the wall frame to accommodate the

cables being threaded through to the touch panel (FIG. 3).

2. Ensure the corresponding wiring knockouts in the back box have been

removed, and place the back box into the wall frame. Align the screw holes in

the back box with the standoffs in the wall frame (FIG. 4).

3. Use the 6-32 screws included with the flush mount kit to affix the back box to

the wall frame.

4. Before installing the wall frame, thread the incoming Ethernet and power

wiring through the knockouts in the wall frame. Position the cables in the cable

guide slots to prevent interference with the edge of the cutout during

installation.

5. Install the wall frame into the wall. Secure it into place by tightening the

drywall clips.

Note: If mounting the panel in a harder surface than drywall, use masonry

screws (not provided) to secure the wall frame into the wall.

6. Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the

touch panel. For more information, consult the Quick Start Guide for the panel

being installed.

7. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the touch panel connections to their

terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the panel is receiving power

and functioning properly to prevent repeating the installation.

Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be

installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the wall.

8. Use the 4 pilot pins on the panel as guides to mount the touch panel onto the

back box (FIG. 5). Ensure the pilot pins are secured firmly in place.

9. Use the included 4-40 screws to secure the touch panel onto the back box

(FIG. 6). There are five screw holes to use for securing the panel on the left and

right side of the back box (landscape installation; for a portrait installation, the

holes are located on the top and bottom of the back box.)

Note: Use a screwdriver or other flat tool to hold the edge of the clear back box

casing for additional ease applying the screws.

10. Push the touch panel into the wall frame evenly all around until you begin to feel

resistance from the spring catches. You should begin to feel resistance when the

panel is about halfway into its recessed position. The panel glass should be

parallel to the wall with no edge tilted in further than any other edge.

In a portrait orientation, start by pressing the bottom two corners of the panel.

Do not release pressure until both corners have clicked into place. Press the top

two corners and, once again, do not release until you hear both clicks. When

unlocking the panel, begin with the bottom corners, then proceed to the top

corners.

Note: If one corner does not click, try pushing in that area again to engage the

catch. If it still does not click, do not try to force it. Release all four corners and

start again. If it still does not click in, check to see if the panel glass is free to move

into the wall frame. If the edge of the glass contacts the edge of the metal, call tech

support before proceeding.

11. Insert the small end of the trim spacers between the touch panel and the wall

frame, inserting two spacers into each corner of the panel, and fold the spacer on

its crease until the adhesive (larger) side of the spacer is on the panel.

12. Apply the cosmetic frame to the outside of the touch panel. Remove the adhesive

protector along each side of the interior frame before applying the frame. Once

adhered, remove the exterior protective film for the frame.

13. Remove the trim spacers from the touch panel.

Using the MXA-FMK-20

Once the touch panel is installed in the MXA-FMK-20, the panel may be extended from

the wall for enhanced speaker and microphone exposure and to access the panel’s

Sleep/Setup button. To extend the panel from the Flush Mount Kit, press the bottom

two corners of the panel and do not release pressure on until you hear both corners

click out of their locked position. Perform the same action on the top corners. Release

the panel to extend it.

To return the touch panel to its flush position, see step 10 above.

Removing the Touch Panel from the MXA-FMK-20

The touch panel may only be removed from the MXA-FMK-20 when the touch panel is

extended from the wall. To remove the touch panel from the MXA-FMK-20, remove the

screws that attach the touch panel to the back box, and disconnect any wiring

connected the panel’s terminal locations.

A Note About Wall and Rack Installation

Some products are installed in areas of differing temperature and cooling

methodologies. These include products installed in walls, racks, cabinets, etc. Those

areas may have different temperatures and/or cooling approaches that must be taken

into consideration to maintain the product within the specified operating temperature.

FIG. 8 shows an AMX device installed in a wall with a filled volume (such as with

insulation or concrete), as well as with a closed volume (such as between studs in an

otherwise finished wall). The diagram shows how heat generated by the device or other

devices may have no way to escape, and may build up to levels that may affect device

operation

In FIG. 9, the diagram displays an AMX device in a typical rack mounting, with full air

circulation around the front and back of the device. In this case, the main concern is

with heat building up between components, possibly to levels that may affect device

operation.

Installation Recommendations

During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely

affect the device’s operation. In these circumstances, special care must be made to

make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the device’s

maximum rated temperature.
